Good but too expensive

The app itself is ok. The distance and mile radius is way off, the advance search feature doesn’t work if you select more than one key word or tag. Users have said that they cannot send messages to me sometimes and it’s a whopping £25!!!!!! FOR ONE MONTH??!!?!! I would love to have it for another month but it’s way too expensive!! The benefits of the app are good, it’s easy to use and good for finding work. I’ve paid my £25 but still am yet to secure a position, I would have been able to afford another month should the price have been at least halved. I can’t fork out more than 25 quid in two months! The response team and customer service were lovely though! A guy named Rick was really fast and efficient in helping me out the other day with some issues I had. Overall I do recommend this app but wish it was a bit cheaper :(

We will pass on your kind comments about our team member Rick! We weren't able to replicate the issues you mentioned about the advanced search but we have notified our engineering team and have asked them to have a detailed look.

Good service but...

I was enjoying using this app as a way to contact parents looking for childcare. However my account was closed abruptly and I haven’t been given a reason why. If my account was re-opened and I was given an explanation, I would rate 4 stars.

EDIT: As promised, I now have changed my rating due to the reopening of my account. The support team are very effective and explained the situation quickly
